  8. Landscaping Update • We have asked our landscapers about the debris pile next to the entrance of our property and have received the following response • In regards to the pile where the grass and woodchips are at the top of the driveway, there is no danger whatsoever. • The woodchips are warm and because of the cold weather, it is normal that steam may be seen coming from it (the pile) • Do not worry! Nothing needs to be done about it.
